Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) originate from the primary tumor mass and enter into the
peripheral bloodstream. Compared to other “liquid biopsy” portfolios such as exosome …

Bioprinting is a breakthrough technology that integrates living cells, biomaterials, and a
robotic dispensing system to create complex structures that mimic original tissues and …

Importance A significant proportion of patients with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer
(TNBC) are treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Sequencing of circulating tumor DNA …

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) carry a wealth of information on primary and metastatic
tumors critical for precise cancer detection, monitoring, and treatment. Numerous …

Biochemical analysis is crucial in understanding mechanism of life activities and giving
biological insights into life process. With inherent merits in flexible design, microscale of …

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are rare cells that detach from a primary or metastasis tumor
and flow into the bloodstream. Intact and viable tumor cells are needed for genetic …

CTCs (circulating tumor cells) are well-known for their use in clinical trials for tumor
diagnosis. Capturing and isolating these CTCs from whole blood samples has enormous …

Microfluidic-based lab-on-a-chip technology is a multidisciplinary approach, which has
evolved rapidly in the past decade and remains a hot research topic as a promising …

Reliable biomarkers are required to evaluate and manage pancreatic ductal
adenocarcinoma. Circulating tumor cells and circulating tumor DNA are shed into blood and …

In this paper, we develop a low-cost size-based microfluidic chip using conventional
polycarbonate membrane to isolate CTCs from blood, and propose a strategy to increase …
